WEEK 12
Monday, November 19^th 2012

• Annotated bibliography (group assignment) due.
  
• We filled out a sheet evaluating our group work/experience.
  
• Handout of APA sample essay. You can see it here: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/23371461/APA-Sample-Essay
  Some key points in the APA sample essay:
  
• Title page should have:
  
• Title
  
• Name
  
• Course (optional)
  
• Teacher name
  
• Date (tip date of completion not date the assignment is due. Make you appear
  more prepared.)
  
• Words count (not on sample essay but is a must for this class)
  
  
• Top right hand corner should be the running head consisting
  of the first 3 words of title and the page number.
  
• Page numbers START on title page.
  
• No need to have the words RUNNING HEAD or to use ALL CAPS in
  this class.
  
• No abstract is required in this class.
  
• This particular sample essay starts with a 2 part thesis
  statement that has background and established them main idea. It is clear and
  concise.
  
• Use block quotes (long quotes from other sources) sparingly
  and correctly. Paraphrasing is preferred.
  
• Anything in quotes should be cited!
  
• Italics are for titles and long documents. They lend emphasis
  to make text appear different.
  
• Hypothetical speech should be in italics not quotes.
  
• Don’t rely too heavily on a single source or single section
  of a source. Varying your sources shows the depth and breadth of your learning.
  
• (as cited in Berg, 2011, Forward section) is a citation for
  a source within a source. Also from the forward of the material so it lacks a
  page number. Forwards of more than 1 page are numbered i, ii, iii and should be
  cited as such.
  
• All quantitative information (stats, numbers, etc) has to be
  cited.
  
• Sub heads should only be used when it contributes to the
  understanding of information is broken down.
  
• (Fenlon, March 28, 2007, p. A1) = front page news
